To a/Zlwhom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, ELBEIDGE GEORGE HADEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Charlottesville, in the county of Albemarle andState of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lamps,of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to lamps, and more particularly to oil-lampshaving reservoirs for supplying oil to the burners.

One of the objects of the invention is the provision of means in thereservoir for containing the oil to prevent accidental explosion.

Another object is the provision of means to prevent overflow of the oilsupplied to the burners.

A further object of the invention is the provision of means to insurethat the bottoms of the wick-receptacles are on a level with the bottomof the oil-reservoir.

A still further obj ect of the invention is the provision of means forthe reception of the wicks, the said means bein only large enough tocontain the wick a one, thereby overcoming any liability of explosion atthese localities.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means for thereception of the wicks so that the same may extend slightly above thelevel of the top of the oil-reservoir,which prevents the oil fromoverflowing.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of meansincluding an oil-reservoir having an incombustible filling and burnersin communication with the reservoir for heating and cooking purposes andadaptable to any form of cooking-stove of the usual construction.

`With these and other objects in view the invention consists in theconstruction, combination, and arrangement of parts, as hereinafterreferred to and as embodied in the accompanying drawings, which disclosethe preferred construction of my invention. I desire it to beunderstood, however, that I may make such changes, variations, andmodifications as come properly within the scope of the claims hereuntoappended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lamp and burners.Fig. 2 is a view in part section of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional viewof one of the wick-receptacles. Fig. 4 is a modification of the lamp andburners.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views.

The vnumeral 1 indicates a bracket, of metal piping, and includes ahanger member 2 and transversely-extending arms 3 and- 4, eachof thelatter having communication with the hanger member 2 and provided with'cut-offs 5 and 6 of the usual type. Said arms 3 and 4 are secured to thecrank member 2 by a coupling 4 for connecting the same and also toreinforce the point of juncture.

` Surrounding the hanger member 2 is an oilreceiving reservoir 7, havinga contracted lower extremity secured in the coupling 4. However, saidreservoir may be of any size and shape found desirable and which isfilled with comminuted asbestos 7 or other suitable incombustiblematerial.

At the extremities of the transverse arms 3 and 4 are connectedwick-receiving rece tacles 8 and 9, the same being of a size on y largeenough to receive the wicks 10 and 11 of ordinary make. Thesewickreceivinfr receptacles 8 and 9 are of a length to extend a distanceabove the level of the top of the oil-receiving reservoir 7, so that oilfed to the aid wick-receptacles 8 and 9 will not overow.

Near the bottom of the oil-receiving reservoir 7 and in the hanger-arm 2is a plurality I of openings 12, so that oil contained in the saidreservoir 7 will have communication with the transverse arms 3 and 4 andthrough the medium thereof supply the wick-receptacles 8 and 9. It willbe apparent that the bottom of each of the wick-receptacles 8 and 9 ison a level with the bottom of the oil-reservoir 7, thereby causing theoil to ilow from the said oil-reservoir 7 to the wick-receptacles 8 and9 and maintain a level with respect to the latter and the saidreservoir. For the purpose of closing the oil-receiving reservoir 7 acover 13 is provided. If it is desired to have only one of the burnersin use, it is only necessary to cut olf the supply of oil from theoil-reservoir 7 to one of the wickreceiving receptacles.

In Fig. 4 I have shown a modification having a wall-bracket 14, formedof metal piping, one extremity having an oil-receiving reservoir 15 andthe opposite extremity provided with a wick-receiving receptacle 16,said oil-receiving reservoir also being provided with incombustiblematerial, as heretofore set forth, and the wick-receiving receptaclebeing of the construction shown in IIO . IO Y hollow hanger memberprovided in proX-.

Fig. 1. It will be observed that the cut-offs 5 and 6 are arrangedimmediately below the joint or connection of the oil-receivingreservoir, so that when the said cut-offs are in a closed position theoil-supply will not have communication with the Wick-receivingreceptacles 8 and 9.

Having described the invention, what I claim is- 1. In combination, avertically-extending imity to its lower end with a plurality ofopenings, a coupling member secured to the lower end of said hangermember and provided near each end with a cut-olf, an oil- 'reservoirsurrounding the perforated portion of the hanger member, said reservoircontracted at its lower end and secured to the coupling member, anincombustible material entirely filling the reservoir, atransverselyextending arm secured to each end of the coupling member andhaving the free end thereof upturned, a cylindrical Wick-receptaclehaving its bottom directly secured to the outer end of each of saidarms, and wicks mounted in each of said receptacles and eX- tending fromthe bottom to beyond the mouth of each of the receptacles, said wickscompletely iilling said receptacles.

2. In a burner of the class described, a bracket having a hanger memberand transverse arms, each provided with a bore in communication witheach other, wick-receptacles mounted on the terminals of said arms, saidreceptacles being of cylindrical shape, wicks entirely illing thereceptacles, said hanger member having a plurality of openings incommunication with the bore thereof adjacent to said arms, anoil-reservoir surrounding said hanger member and having a contracted endsecured to the same below the openings, an incombustible materialentirely illing the reservoir, a cover for the latter to close thesame,and cut-offs regulating the iow of oil through said arms to the wicks.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand -in presence of twosubscribing witnesses. v
